Nominations for people wanting to replace James Daniels on the Christchurch City Council will open on Thursday.
Daniels resigned from the council on Thursday last week. The 66-year-old announced in May he was leaving the role half-way through the three-year term to join Simon Barnett as co-host of Newstalk ZB afternoons from Tuesday.
His resignation triggered a by-election in the Coastal ward because the next local body election, on October 8, 2022, was still more than 12 months away.
The by-election was expected to cost between $65,000 and $70,000.
